Miami-Dade County Public Schools' School Choice Program is featured on the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE)'s website as a strong, innovative program.

Considered a model for school choice, the program was prominently featured in the USDOE's recently issued study, Creating Strong District School Choice Programs.

"The study confirms that our School Board's investment in public school choice initiatives is one that not only continues to reap dividends for our students, but also brands M-DCPS as a preeminent leader in the area of school choice and parental options," said Michael Bell, Assistant Superintendent, School Choice and Parental Options.
